Speaking on the eve of Migrants and Refugees Week which begins on Monday 19 August, Bishop Hanna pointed out Australia had been instrumental in drafting the United Nations' Refugee Convention and was signatory to the original document. "Now, on a pathway marked by particular political ideologies and interests these, and not the spirit of the Convention, are de- termining the criteria for the application of international treaties," he says and cites the fact Australia has children in detention and applies mandatory and indefinite detention laws on people who arrive by boat. Bishop Hanna cites Australia's long history of providing opportunities to those who "have come across the seas." Australia's National Anthem even promises "for those who've come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share." "From all countries people have come to Australia seeking to fulfil their hopes and strengthen their faith. Australia has been enriched by these people many of whom hail from countries torn by war, famine and sheer poverty," Bishop Hanna says add- ing that today people keep on coming "from across the seas. "The devastating images of their lives at the mercy of rickety old fishing boats challenge the sense of what it means to be hu- man. Yet we present these asylum seekers, including many children and unaccompanied minors with the prospect of a crammed detention place in which they could be held for years." PM says from now on all asylum seekers arriving by boat will be sent to PNG. In his message for Migrants and Refugee Week, Bishop Hanna urges Australia's Catholic community to shift the level of the discussion on migrants and refugees away from the debate about perceived economic liabilities and national security to points which focus on an ethical dimension.

Fundamental Right of People in Fear of their Lives to Seek Asylum – Bishop Catholic Communications, Sydney Archdiocese, 14 Aug 2013

Asylum seeker children may have to wait five years or longer in off shore detention centres The obligation to protect and the fundamental right to seek asylum can never be denied to people who are in fear of their lives, nor should they be incarcerated for needing help, says Bishop Gerard Hanna, Australia's Bishops' Delegate for Migrants and Refugees.

***************************************************************************** REFLECTION FROM POPE FRANCIS

“Faith is not something decorative; living the faith is not decorating life with a little religion, as if life were a pie and faith like the whipped cream that you use to decorate it. No, faith is not this. Faith entails choosing God as the basic criterion for life, and God is not empty, God is not neutral. God is always positive, God is love, and love is positive! After Jesus has come into the world we cannot act as if we do not know God, as if God were something abstract, empty, a mere name; no, God has a particular face, he has a name: God is mercy, God is fidelity, he is life that is given to all of us.”

********************************************************************************

MARRIAGE WEEK AUSTRLIA 2013 8th ~ 14th September Marriage is one of God's most wonderful gifts and is a treasure worth working on. We in the church need to honour and support those who have married. Our nation's future can be positively influenced when we seek to honour and

strengthen marriage. Marriage is part of God's plan for creation and we believe that He highly values marriage and family. Marriages are building

blocks for nations; strong healthy marriages make for stronger communities, stronger nations. Marriage is the fabric that holds families together.

Research shows that those who are married live longer, are healthier, less prone to substance abuse and are wealthier. Marriage should be encour-aged, strengthened, valued and supported throughout the nation in every

possible way and the Church has a strategic part to play. Marriage Week is a great starting place to honour and strengthen marriages in the community.

Fear of their Lives to Seek Asylum – Bishop "In the climate of our times it is necessary to renew our familiar-ity with the teaching of the Church on matters of migration, and confront the challenge of providing pastoral care to migrants and refugees as a concrete way to implement the teaching," he says and calls on individuals, parishes, ethnic chaplaincies and Catholic agencies to initiate programs of awareness aimed at making the causes of migration known. Bishop Hanna points out that migrants and refugees do not come to our shores empty-handed. "On the contrary they come filled with faith and hope. In many cases they come from young and vibrant Catholic communities and some of them have had pastoral responsibilities as cate-chists in their homeland. We are called to enable them to share with us the richness of their faith and what they suffered for the sake of Christ," he says. The message from Bishop Hanna to mark the 99th World Day of Migrant and Refugees on Sunday, 28 August and to mark Migrants and Refugees Week which begins on Monday 22 Au-gust can be read in full in the Australian Catholic Bishops Con-ference Resource kit for parishes, schools and individuals.
